.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it should manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of famous scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for example, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the guest to type in a username and a password in order to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your website, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file offers you far more control over your websites and the way they function.
